Hello John,
JR> Sudip is right though - both 2000 and 2001 need manual configuration
JR> of The Bat to scan mail. I cannot see how email scanning will occur if
JR> this is not done.
As I said, I *did* tell Nav that I was using an "other" email
client, and it did scan incoming email, little envelopes in the
system tray and all. What I didn't have to do was touch TB at all.
Norton handled everything itself. All I had to do was turn email
scanning "on". That's it. :) I did do a little configuration within
Norton to suit my tastes, but never once have had to do anything
with the email client. Moot point now, anyway, since Nav 2002 does
this by default. I think the improvements from 2001 to 2002 were a
tremendous, and unexpected, leap. Very good product.
As for 'how' it does it, I imagine it monitors the net
connection, and scans incoming packets, regardless of
origin/destination. I've seen Nav scan incoming .tmp files that
were about to be converted to messages (c:/windows/temp), so it's
not a great leap to assume they designed it to recognize the nature
of certain extensions (.tmp, .msg, etc.). An assumption on my part,
but a probable one.
Best regards,
